Nikes

(album: BLVD BOY - 2021)

Doing it to myself again
Chasing thrills
Damaging to my health again
Throw the hood up go stealth again
I'm the cap of the ship and ship sinking
Still seen shit I ain't let sink in
Seen it all change it one blink man
I got fam who can't read, treated like king pins
Why it's fuck the law
You ya hoe too I'ma cuff the broad
Who done held me down
When a boy was down bad on the ledge and I felt like jumping off
And it's true, I'm just a youngin dawg
But it's proof, I get it jumping off
When I do
Just what the fuck I was put here for, I'm telling you
I've been running in circles
Convincing myself I'm deserving
Of happiness, paper and honestly whatever make me feel worth it
With same Nike's on
That I prolly should not have bought
But if I'm running, I'm running in style,
It's things you just can't stop

I've been running circle in my Nikes for a long time
Back and forth been running suicides for a long time
Living do or die for a long time
I been out my mind for a long time

I've been running circle in my Nikes for a long time
Back and forth been running suicides for a long time
Living do or die for a long time
I been out my mind for a long time

I been out the way tryna get it and maintain
Putting two to the pavement to try to paper my names sake
Prophecy came a day late
Devil said whats yo day rate?
I got you two for the poolside
Your problems be gone by day break
But it's mayday mayday
This is not what it was
Hey day-heyday. Make em coughing it up
Wait wait they say I'm a problem or some?
They say where you get your confidence from?
It's the fact I did it
And baby back then I told ya
You say it's written, it isn't
And if it is the book closing
I threw my troops in the ocean
Told em swim with me north bound
Double dosing and floating
Ain't worried bout how the shore sound
Everything so off course now and I love it
And when they ask what I been up to
I don't tell em nothing I been running

I've been running circle in my Nikes for a long time
Back and forth been running suicides for a long time
Living do or die for a long time
I been out my mind for a long time

I've been running circle in my Nikes for a long time
Back and forth been running suicides for a long time
Living do or die for a long time
I been out my mind for a long time
